Flix In The Wet

Flix in the Wet has kept film-lovers happy throughout the never-ending build up this Wet season.

The move to BCC Cinemas in Casuarina, after the city cinema’s closure, hasn’t deterred fans, with strong turn-outs for the season so far.

But for those craving the night-sky above their cinema experience, never fear – the beloved Deckchair will reopen next month. But until then, here’s a run down of a few flicks you can catch indoors this month.

Can You Ever Forgive Me?

Melissa McCarthy stars as Lee Israel, the best-selling celebrity biographer (and cat lover) who made her living in the 1970s and 80s profiling the biggest names of the era. When Israel found herself unable to get published because she had fallen out of step with the marketplace, she turned her art form to deception, abetted by her loyal friend Jack (Richard E. Grant).
